5. Apply a tiny amount of BADgal Waterproof Liner in Black along the lash line towards the outer corner of your eyes. Blend. You can also apply a small amount to the waterline for a more dramatic look, or dab a bit of shadow along the lower lash line.

9. Section off your hair and begin to curl with a 1 1/2″ barrel curling iron. Start curling at the base and wrap hair around the barrel towards your face. Hold each section for seven seconds on medium heat.

10. For extra hold, you may set hair with clips as you go along. Once you’re finished curling set the look with light hair spray.

11. Tousle curls with your fingers. You can also run a paddle brush through to smooth the curls if you’d like. Then simply add an art deco-inspired hairpiece and your ’20s glam look is complete!
